The hand is immediately distal to the carpal region. In particular, the metacarpals and phalanges are distal to the carpal region.
The pollux is distal to the carpal region. The pollux is the thumb, and the carpal region is the region of the wrist.
The antecubital space is proximal to the carpal region. ( antecubital space being the opposite side of the elbow and the carpal region being the wrist )
distal
The antebrachium is the forearm, which extends from the elbow to the wrist. The carpal region refers to the wrist, which includes the eight carpal bones.
The cubital region, which refers to the area around the elbow, is actually proximal to the carpal region, which encompasses the wrist. In anatomical terms, "distal" means farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body, while "proximal" means closer to it. Therefore, the cubital region is closer to the shoulder than the carpal region, making it proximal, not distal.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
brachial, antecubital, carpal
Wrist
The most common surgical treatment for carpal tunnel is a carpal tunnel release. Other nonsurgical treatments for carpal tunnel include splinting, steroid injections, and oral medications.
The term carpal means pertaining to the wrist. The metacarpals are the bones in the palm of your hand. They form joints with the wrist bones (carpus) and the fingers (phalanges). See link below:
A region is a term that refers to a group of places that have similar features or characteristics in common. This term is often used to describe areas that share things like climate, culture, language, or geography.
